FTC Sends Refunds to Customers Who Purchased Sobrenix
On November 7, 2024, the FTC announced it is mailing 56,686 checks totaling more than $536,000 to customers who bought Sobrenix, a supplement sold and marketed by Rejuvica to reduce and eliminate alcohol cravings and consumption. According to the FTC, these claims were unsubstantiated and deceptive.
Sobrenix contains vitamin B6, thiamin, milk thistle, chanca piedra, and dandelion root, along with other ingredients.
According to the FTC’s original complaint, Rejuvica and its owners, Kyle Armstrong and Kyle Dilger made numerous false claims about Sobrenix and used paid endorsers in deceptively formatted advertising. For example, the supplement was marketed on Amazon, Walmart, and other websites with statements such as “…Sobrenix is designed to reduce alcohol cravings and help you detoxify your body so you can successfully manage alcohol consumption”. The complaint also states that the company used fake review sites that appeared to be independent but were owned and operated by the defendants.
The defendants have agreed to a proposed court order that would permanently ban them from making any unsubstantiated claims about health care products or services, as well as require them to pay $650,000 to the FTC to be used to provide refunds to consumers.
The average check amount per consumer is $9.50. Recipients should deposit or cash their checks within 90 days, as indicated on the check. The agency reminded consumers that it never requires people to pay money or provide account information to cash refund checks.
